And then in the winter they could convert Tiana's Bayou Adventure into a bobsled run.I think they should move the parks to Alaska.
Yeah, our state doesn't care if it's excused or unexcused - an absence is an absence when it comes to tallying chronic absenteeism.
one of the pieces I read yesterday that was talking about summer slowness before the pandemic was also talking about there being a greater shift to year-round schooling, so that may play a part also. We don't have year round schooling here, but my district does have a tendency to create 3 day school weeks that aren't attached to holidays..a lot of people travel during those weeks.
Just quoting this from the DAS thread from @lentestaWait times are definitely down. Not sure how much of that is due to the DAS change.
I've heard table-service dining numbers are well into scary-low territory, with well-known and popular places at maybe 50% capacity some nights.
Here's Akershus for 6 pm dinner this past Friday:

Almost as if the traveling public has caught on to something. What could that be? I wonder?The calendar has been shifting for along time
That doesn’t cover ghost towns in the summer
Still much easier to travel with no school
It racks upI just spent £10k english to travel from uk,

3 Adults 2 kids
14 days tickets (this is roughly £2.8k)
1k dollars of food credits

DST first....It’s time to dump the 9/10 month calendar
I mean…it was designed for farming
It would help Disney…if they don’t continue to try and bankrupt themselves
I'm clueless too. Now excuse me I have to mobile order a $9 slice of cardboard pizza.
That’s been on the blocks for yearsDST first....
Ungotz!!!I'm clueless too. Now excuse me I have to mobile order a $9 slice of cardboard pizza.
I don’t think you’re doing it on purpose…but that is what lying Bob tried to spin last yearI am not making an excuse for anyone, I am simply stating that there is more competition than ever for tourist dollars and Disney no longer has those tourists all to themselves as they might have 2 years ago.
Honestly I liked Akershus. I liked the food, my daughter loved the Princesses. It was definitely too expensive for what it was, but I could justify it some. That was when it was like $45. It's like $20 a person MORE now.
Some places are wearing those 300%+ price increases in 20 years better than othersHonestly I liked Akershus. I liked the food, my daughter loved the Princesses.

Pretty sure both places went to fixed price menus for both lunch and dinner. Reasons why we won't be going back to either. Character meal interactions are often so short, and neither DD nor I are going to eat all of that food - it's just not worth it.Whoa….. be our guest is $70 for lunch!?!? And the Castle is $84!?
There are less folks in the park, they have to maintain revenue somehowWhoa….. be our guest is $70 for lunch!?!? And the Castle is $84!?
I do agree, and. At least in my state, absenteeism rates during school are through the roof. There are state wide initiatives to address it because it's such a big issue across the state. There's at least some hypothesizing that post-Covid, adults aren't as married to waiting for school breaks to travel as they might have been pre-Covid. There's other reasons than vacation also, but vacations are a part of it.
This is a case where I think there is some truth to some things but here's the real problem. They really did have a bunch of people come running to them, but then the product they put out wasn't something that everyone said. Oh, that was such a fantastic experience. I can't wait to go back again now they really blew it. They had a chance to really impress a lot of people and instead they reach for their walletsI don’t think you’re doing it on purpose…but that is what lying Bob tried to spin last year
“It’s hot”…which never seemed to be much of a problem in Florida for the first 50 years
But also the really awful one:
“We’re so awesome…people ran to us. And it was so awesome…now they have to take time off to recover”
One thing needs time off…the wallet.
Agreed wholeheartedlyThis is a case where I think there is some truth to some things but here's the real problem.

Bingo…This is a case where I think there is some truth to some things but here's the real problem.
